The Intent Of Noses
Attend the tale of Jack the Lad
Who wooed the Queen of Hearts
With finest, freshest hake and shad
And flashed his privy parts
The Queen, aghast at seeing fish
Where fish should never be
Determined that her dying wish
Was burial at sea
Young Jack, though, had a cunning plan
He'd take her on a boat
He'd seat her on the craft's divan
And row her 'round the moat
The Queen was most impressed
And said, "Now, tell me, Jack"
"Is it true, as Jill confessed,
You swept her chimney-stack?"
With rakish grin young Jack replied,
In soft seductive tones:
"You'll not guess what I found inside:
A lot of well-jumped bones!"
This put the Queen off Jack a bit
But soon he won her round
He showed that fish, like snakes, can spit
But rarely make a sound
